This is the story of how thirteen indigenous women from Puebla, Mexico banded together, overcoming poverty and discrimination, to safeguard the Tlaola Serrano Chili Pepper. This film is a celebration of the remarkable, enduring, resilient strength of the women of Tlaola; individuals who are actively redefining the role of indigenous women in their village, their country, and, we hope, the world.
